Bosses love to think that they know it all, but they operate on limited info like everybody else. This just shows how stupid it is to work hard for a job, when everything is based on impressions and not on any kind of objective measures.
I’ve seen unproductive people succeed simply because they show up early and leave late while doing less than average work. It’s all about appearances.
Hard working unproductive people become in time hard working productive people. Lazy productive people become in time lazy unproductive people. Skill issue on your side tbh.
Hey thanks for your assessment of my skill without knowing the first thing about me. Hard working is something else than just being in the office every day from 8 to 6.
I work hard for myself at work. To know my day and time wasn’t wasted. I also try to learn something new every day. If I’m gonna be a wage slave I’m gonna be a smart wage slave.
…wait.
It’s a running joke where I work just how hard it is to get fired. One of the few stories I know of someone who was fired involved an employee for whom my employer paid multiple times for courses of rehab. He was finally fired when after all that they found him at his desk so drunk they basically couldn’t wake him at all.
He costanzed it
Does everyone in this thread work in a warehouse?
What work would even in concept make this possible?
Ssh.
But honestly, I could see this in pretty much any office setting, including mine. My boss will go whole days stuck in meetings, so I’ll only see them if I get in really early or stay late. If I’m missing all day, people would assume I’m also in meetings or something, because we work with remote teams and half of my team is remote.
I’m a software engineer, but this could work for almost any office job, especially those in cubicles.
